Top US diplomat Hillary Clinton accused WikiLeaks of an "attack" on the world, as key American allies were left red-faced by embarrassing revelations in a vast trove of leaked memos. In a lengthy statement, the secretary of state attempted damage limitation as she told reporters the United States "deeply regrets" the release of the 250,000 diplomatic cables, all apparently from the State Department.
